AMERICAN  NET  &  TWINE  CO. 

For  more  than  half  a  century  our  Company  has  catered  for  the  fishermen  of 
Newfoundland  in  our  manufactures. 

We  were  never,  in  our  history,  better  prepared  to  take  the  very  best  care  of 
their  wants  than  at  the  present  moment. 

The  Twines  from  which  we  make  our  Nettings  are  manufactured  by  ourselves 
directly  from  the  raw  materials  (unlike  any  other  company  in  America);  this  gives 
reliability  in  lay,  finish,  and  in  strength,  without  which  the  best  results  ccnnot  be 
obtained. 

We  beg  to  assure  our  Newfoundland  patrons  of  our  appreciation  of  their  con- 
tinued favors,  and  our  constant  aim  and  effort  is,  and  shall  be,  to  merit  a  continuance 
of  their  patronage. 

iVe  guarantee  the  best  work  at  the  lowest  market  rates.

THE  terrible  conflagration  at  St.  John's,  Newfoundland,  whereby  from 
$15,000,000  to  $20,000,000  of  property  was  viped  out  of  exist- 
ence by  the  fire  fiend  in  a  few  hours  and  10,000  people  left  home- 
less has  shocked  and  pained  the  ■^•-ilized  world.  Here  was  a  city 
prosperous,  intelligent,  and  powej.iul,  almost  .  obliterated  in  a  few 
hours. 

Boston  forwarded,  in  money  nd  goods,  nearly  $i''),oco;  all  these 
gifts  coming  in  with  sympathy  and  heartiness  that  made  them  d'^'bly 
acceptable.  Of  this  effort  of  relief,  and  of  the  calamity  which  called  it 
forth,  the   following  pages  are  published  as  a  memorial  reco*  J. 

To  all  who  contributed  to  this  worthy  cause  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee, on  behalf  of  the  fire  sufferers,  return  their  most  grateful  thanks. 
St.  John's  has  from  the  inception  of  her  history  enjoyed  a  world-wide 
reputation  for  the  generosity  of  its  people — an  appeal  made  10  them  for 
the  relief  of  others  had  never  once  been  unheeded.  So,  in  turn,  while  the 
fire  was  smouldering  in  the  ruins  of  the  fairest  portion  of  their  city,  relief 
came  pouring  in  from  the  outside  world  through  every  available  channel. 

The  history  of  the  fire  contained  in  this  volume  is  the  work  of  the 
Rev.  Moses  Harvrv,  well  known  to  all  lovers  of  the  Island,  author  of 
a  history  of  Newfoundland  and  a  writer  of  wide  repute  on  natural 
history  and  other  subjects.  He  had  the  mournful  privilege  of  seeing 
the  beginning,  the  terrifying  growth,  and  the  tardy  arrest  of  the  con- 
flagration. His  account  of  it  gives  a  literary  and  historic  value  to  this 
Souvenir;  while  the  contribution  of  Mr.  Henry  O'Meara,  our  young 
Boston  poet,  himself  a  native  of  the  city  of  St.  John's,  still  adds 
to  its  value. 

In  addition  to  this  our  generous  friends  will  find  herein  an  account 
of  our  btewardship,  with  credit  given  to  every  contributor  whose  name 
could   be   ascertained.

AN    APPEAL.^ 


I 


^HE  friends  of  Newfoundland  appeal  to  the  people  of  Boston 
^  in  behalf  of  the  chief  city  of  that  countiy,  suffering  now  what 
xnay  be  a  mortal  calamity.     Boston's  aid  has   always   been  freely  given 

to  her  suffering  neighbors.  ,.,,-.    .. 

St  Tohn's  is  a  city  of  something  over  thirty  thousand  mhabitants, 
largely  engaged  in  the  fisheries.  Shops  ot  merchant,  and  artisans  are  m 
ashes  so  that  work  on  shore  is  gone.  At  this  season  the  fishermen 
a  e  off  along  the  coast,  down  to  Labrador,  or  out  on  the  banks  workmg 
hlrd  that  they  may  be  able  to  lay  by  something  for  the  hard  wmter. 
They  hive  left  at  home  their  wives  and  children  and  the  help  ess  old. 
They  will  get  news  of  the  fire  from  passing  vessels,  and  whether  t^ey 
hasten  heme  or  not,  -vhat  hope  have  they? 

These  sad  and  scanty  details  help  out  the  meaning  of  Sunday 
morning's  news  that  fifteen  thousand  people  are  homeless,  and  twenty 
million  dollars'  vvv^rA  of  property  destroyed. 

What  can  Boston  do?  Send  food.  St.  John's  .s  nearer  than 
Russia.  St.  John's  is  your  neighbor.  Her  sons  are  your  fellow-citizens. 
Her  working  people  are  out  of  work,  homeless,  and  starving.  She  needs 
'nd  asks  your  help,  and  Boston  is  old  at  the  business  o  chanty.  Aid 
in  any  shape  will  be  acceptable.  We  are  prepared  to  take  care  of  any 
contributions  given  in  money,  clothing,  or  the  necessaries  of  life.  All 
acsistance  will  be  thankfully  received  at  the  headquarters  of  the  Relief 
Committee,  143  Harrison  avenue,  where  the  Secretary  will  be  in  daily 
attendance  from  8  A.M.  to  8  P.M.

THE   GREAT    FIRE. 


rULL  details  of  the  awful  conflagration  of  July  8th,  by  which  two- 
thirds  of  the  city  of  St.  John's  was  destroyed,  have  already 
appeared  in  the  public  press.  I  am  requested,  however,  to  furnish  a 
brief  description  of  the  fire,  which  may  be  attached  to  the  list  of  con- 
tributors in  Boston  to  the  Relief  Fund,  and  I  willingly  comply  with 
this  request. 

On  the  afternoon  of  that  dark  day  in  the  annals  of  Newfound- 
land I  attended  a  meeting  in  the  basement  of  St.  Andrew's  Church,  for 
the  distribution  f  prizes  to  the  pupils  of  the  General  Protestant  Acad- 
emy. Little  di  I  imagine  that  this  would  be  the  last  meeting  in  that 
fine,  substantial  building,  and  that  when  I  next  saw  it,  only  shattered 
walls  and  smoke-begrimed  ruins  would  greet  the  eye. 

The  meeting  closed  at  a  quarter  past  four,  and  in  company  with 
a  friend  I  went  for  a  walk  in  the  direction  of  the  Parade  Ground. 
About  five  o'clock  T  noticed  .lic  glare  of  fire  some  distance  beyond, 
near  Fresh  Water  Road,  and  hastening  to  the  spot  I  found  three  houses 
on  fire.  I  remarked  to  my  friend  that  this  was  a  bad  day  for  a  fire. 
A  high  wind  from  the  north-west  was  blowing,  huding  the  sparks  far  and 
wide  on  the  roofs  of  the  clusters  of  wooden  houses.  For  a  month  pre- 
vious hardly  any  rain  had  fallen,  and  the  shingled  roofs  were  like  tinder. 
The  firemen  were  soon  on  the  spot,  but  the  supply  of  water  was  fet;ble, 
and  their  efforts  to  arrest  the  progress  of  the  flames  produced  little 
effect.     By   a   strange    fatalit>  water   had   been    turned   off  in   the 

morning  in  order  to  make  some  new  connections  of  mains,  and  though 
it  had  been  turned  on  again  its  force  on  this  high  ground  was  slight. 
A  tank  which  was  usually  full  had  been  emptied  the  previous  ever.ing  by

the  firemen,  when  practising  with  their  hose,  and  by  some  stupid  care- 
lessness had  not  been  filled. 

Soon  half  a  dozen  more  houses  were  on  fire,  then  twenty.  The 
volume  of  flames  increased,  and  the  roaring  wind  hurled  the  burning 
brands  in  all  directions,  which,  alighting  on  roofs  at  a  distance,  created 
fresh  centres  of  fire.  Then  it  became  evident  that  an  alarn;ing  con- 
flagration had  broken  out,  but  no  one  yet  dreamed  of  the  terrible  results 
that  were  to  follow.  The  force  of  the  wind  was  increased  by  the  heat, 
and  the  fire  was  now  steadily  eating  its  way  down  Long's  Hill  into  the 
very  heart  of  the  city.  The  firemen  were  overpowered,  their  hose 
])urned,  and  the  flames  got  beyond  control.  On  the  high  ground  to  the 
right  of  Long's  Hill  stood  a  mass  of  wooden  buildings,  consisting  of 
the  Methodist  College  and  schools,  with  dwelling-houses,  the  Masonic 
Temple,  and  the  Presbyterian  manse.  In  a  few  minutes  the  roof  of  the 
college  began  to  smoke,  and  in  half  an  hour  the  whole  group  of  build- 
ings was  an  enormous  mass  of  flames.  The  fiery  torrent,  thus  swollen, 
now  rushed  on,  growing  by  what  it  fed  on.  The  Methodist  Gower  Street 
Church,  the  Orange  Hall,  the  Synod  Hall  and  schools  of  the  Church  of 
England,  the  residence  of  Bishop  Jones,  went  down  before  the  avalanche 
of  fire  ;  and  now  the  beautiful  Cathedral  of  the  Church  of  England  — 
the  pride  of  the  city  —  was  surrounded  by  a  liug  of  flames.  No  one 
imagined  that  such  a  solid  stone  structure  could  be  burned  ;  and  for  an 
hour  before  the  terrified  people  around  had  been  carrying  their  vf'hi- 
ables  to  it  as  a  place  of  safety.  Bishop  Jones  had  placed  in  it  all 
his  household  treasures.  The  fiery  tornado  swept  on.  The  intense 
heat  melted  the  lead  around  the  panes  of  glass,  and  the  destroyer 
having  found  an  entrance,  the  stately  Cathedral,  with  all  its  con- 
tents, was  soon  a  glowing  mass  of  fire.  The  beautifully  moulded 
arches  and  massive  pillars  crumbled,  and  with  a  crash  the  lofty 
roof  fell  in.  The  flames  leaped  up,  as  if  exulting,  a  hundred  feet 
into  the  air,  and  resumed  their  destructive  march.  Now  came  the 
turn  of  St.  Andrew's  Presbyterian  Church,  which  was  only  two  or 
three  hundred  yards  below  the  Cathedral.  It  was  a  massive  brick 
building  and  supposed  to  be  invulnerable  to  fire  from  outside ;  but 
the  fierce  heat  soon  melted  the  glass  of  the  windows,  and  in  an 
incredible  short  space  of  time  nothing  remained  of  St.  Andrew's 
but  the  tower  and  blackened  walls,  shattered  as  with  shot  and 
shell. 

(  21  ) 


,M 


/ 


Opposite  St.  Andrew's  Church  stood  the  Athenjeum.  Desperate 
efforts  were  made  to  save  it,  but  all  in  vain.  It  was  a  hand- 
sonie  structure,  'ontaining  a  fine  concert  and  lecture  hall,  the 
Savings  Bank,  the  Surveyor  General's  office,  a  public  library,  con- 
taining seven  thousand  volumes.  The  cost  oi"  the  building  was  $60,000. 
It  was  the  institution  on  which  the  city  prided  itself  most,  and  indeed 
it   would   have    been   a   credit   to   any   community. 

The  fiery  giant  rushed  on.  The  Court-House,  the  Commercial 
Bank,  with  the  surrounding  buildings,  speedily  shared  the  common 
(&ie.  The  Union  Bank  made  a  stout  resistance,  and  being  favor- 
ably situated,  and  well  protected  by  iron  shutters,  managed  to  escape. 
The  conflagration  now  set  to  work  on  Duckworth  Street,  and  soon 
it  had  all  the  streets  above  it  in  its  grasp.  Garrison  Hill  had 
gone  some  time  before,  and  all  efforts  proved  futile  to  save  St. 
Patrick's  fine  hall,  with  the  schools  of  the  Christian  Brothers  on 
its  ground  floor.  The  Congregational  Church,  .-t  no  great  distance, 
speedily  succumbed;  and  all  the  area  of  houses  in  front  of  the 
Catholic  Cathedral  and  onward  towards  the  east  end  of  the  city 
furnished    food    for   the    flames. 

The  destroying  force  which  had  started  so  advantageously  from 
ihe  heights  about  the  head  of  Long's  Hill,  overlooking  the  city, 
had  here  divided  itself  and  sent  a  strong  detachment  down  towards 
Water  Street,  a  little  east  of  Carter's  Lane.  Ere  long  this  column 
burst  into  Water  Street  —  the  business  part  of  the  city  — at  Beck's 
Cove,  cutting  it  in  two,  and  leaving  one-third  untouched  to  the 
westward.  Nov/  the  work  of  destruction  commenced  in  earnest. 
Bowring's  huge  premises,  shops,  stores,  warehouse,  wharves,  were 
soon  enveloped  in  sheets  o*'  flame.  The  beautiful  shops,  full  of 
valuable  goods;  the  stores  behind,  containing  thousands  of  barrels  of 
flour  and  provisions  of  all  kinds;  the  fish  stores;  the  wharves, 
which  it  had  cost  immense  sums  to  erect,  —  disappeared  one  by 
one  into  the  maw  of  the  destroyer.  Goodfellow's,  Ayre  &  Sons', 
Baird's,  Baine  Johnston's,  Thorburn  &  Tessier's,  immense  premises; 
Marshall  &  Roger's,  Job  Brothers'  great  block,  —  all  fell  a  prey  to 
the  flames,  and  the  whole  of  Water  Street,  en  both  sides,  was 
"swept  with  the   besom  of  destruction." 

I    had   been  watching  the  progress  of  the  fire   down  Long's  Hill, 
and    afterwards    as    it    spread    to    Scotland    Row    and    attacked    the

Long's  Hill, 
ittacked    the 


St- 


Cathedral  and  St.  Patrick's  Hall,  and  I  had  been  helping  some 
friends  to  remove  their  goods.  When  I  saw  that  it  had  burst 
into  Water  Street  and  was  sending  out  great  flakes  of  fire  and 
tornadoes  of  fiery  particles,  like  an  advanced  host  of  skirmishers, 
while  the  solid  mass  cf  fire  steadily  advanced,  I  then  knew  that 
the  city  was  doomed.  I  began  to  think  of  my  own  home  in 
Devon  Row,  and  for  the  first  time  realized  that  in  all  probabil- 
ity it  would  be  included  in  the  general  destruction.  Through  a 
suffocating  atmosphere,  laden  with  burning  sparks  and  blinding 
smoke,  I  wended  "ny  way  homeward,  and  found  that  all  the  in- 
habitants of  Devon  Row  were  packing  their  goods  and  preparing 
to  remove  them  to  places  of  safety,  as  it  was  believed  to  be 
impossible  to  save  the  Row.  1  followed  the  gent/al  example,  and 
we  continued  the  work  for  two  hours  and  a  half,  and  were  suc- 
cessful in  carrying  to  a  place  of  safety  all  that  was  portable  — 
thanks  to  the  aid  of  numerous  kind  friends.  Meantime  the  fiery  torrent 
was  bearing  straight  down  upon  us.  Devon  Row  consists  of  six  brick 
houses,  four  stories  in  height,  with  a  tarred  asphalt  roof  —  a  projecting 
wooden  cornice  under  the  roof,  and  a  wooden  balcony  behind,  so  that 
it  presented  'nany  vulnerable  points.  The  inmates  were  all  doing  their 
best  to  fight  the  fire,  and  a  strong  force  was  assembled  at  No.  5, 
the  house  next  the  fire.  The  roof  was  kep*"  wet,  —  wet  blan- 
kets placed  at  the  end  of  the  balcony,  and  brooms  in  active 
service  to  sweep  off  the  sparks  as  they  fell  in  myriads.  Still,  we 
had  little  hope  of  escaping,  as  far  stronger  buildings  and  better 
protected  had  perished.  The  torrent  approached ;  the  house  next 
the  Row  blazed  up,  and  the  blood-red  tongues  of  fire  shot  out, 
licking  the  gable-end  and  mounting  towards  the  roof.  We  stood 
looking  on,  expecting  every  moment  to  see  the  roof  or  the  win- 
dows on  fire.  We  held  our  breath,  waiting  for  the  final  catastro- 
phe ;  but  the  fiery  bombardment  did  not  take  effect ;  the  sparks 
flew  off  without  getting  a  lodgment ;  the  flames  from  the  burning 
house  next  it  began  to  collapse  after  the  roof  fell  in,  and  with  a 
sigh  of  relief  we  realized  that  Devon  Row  was  saved.  Had  it 
gone,  all  the  ouses  below  it,  with  the  railway  station,  would  have 
been   destroyed. 

By   this   time    it   was    half-past   two  o'clock  in  the  morning.     The 
sight   of  the   burning   city    when   the    conflagration  was   at   its   height. 


was  appalling.  A  roaring,  tossing  sea  of  fire,  its  waves  at  intervals 
leaping  high  into  the  air,  as  one  great  building  after  another  col- 
lapsed, lighting  up  the  country  all  around,  and  the  thick  smoke 
canopy  overhead;  the  crackling  of  burning  beams;  the  crash  of 
falling  roofs ;  the  roaring  of  the  wind,  now  increased  to  a  gale  j 
the  fierce  heat  and  suffocating  smoke ;  the  terror-stricken  inhabi- 
tants flying  before  the  destroyer,  trying  to  save  some  wrecks  of 
their  furniture  and  household  goods;  the  cries  of  weeping  women, 
hurrying  with  their  children  to  places  of  safety,  —  all  cunsLituted  a 
scene   which   not    even  the   pen   of  a   Dante   could  describe. 


The  next  morning  I  took  a  walk  around  the  awful  scene  of  de- 
vastation. It  was  heart-rending.  Nothing  visible  for  a  mile  from 
Devon  Row  but  chimneys  and  fallen  or  tottering  walls.  The  thick 
smoke,  from  the  smouldering  ruins,  still  filled  the  air.  Where 
yesterday  stood  the  homes  of  fifteen  thousand  people,  there  were  only 
ashes  and  debrii,  or  wails  and  chimney-stalks,  ghastly  in  their 
nakedness.  The  wrecks  of  the  fanes  of  religion  stood  out,  then 
broken  walls  pointing  heavenward,  as  if  in  mournful  protest  against 
the    desecration  that   had   been   wrought. 

And  the  poor  inhabitants,  where  were  they?  It  made  the  heart 
ache  to  see  the  groups  of  men,  women,  and  children,  with  weary, 
blood-shot  eyes  and  smoke-Legrimed  faces,  standing  over  their  scraps 
of  furniture  and  clothing.  —  some  of  them  asleep  on  the  ground  from 
utter  exhaustion,  —  all  with  despondency  depicted  on  their  faces. 
They  filled  the  park  and  grounds  around  the  city.  Many  hundreds 
escaped  with  nothing  but  the  clothes  they  wore ;  others  had  caught 
up  some  small  wrecks  of  their  property.  They  had  no  shelter  for 
their  heads,  and  in  many  cases  had  lost  all.  At  least  twelve  thou- 
sand people  were  burnt  out.  The  value  of  the  property  destroyed 
is  estimated  at  from  fifteen  to  twenty  millions  of  dollars,  of  which 
about  one- third  is  covered  by  insurance.  The  middle  class  are  the 
greatest  :iiifferers.  Hundreds  of  families,  fron-  comfort  and  indepen- 
dence, are  now  brought  to  penury,  and  have  to  begin  life  afresh. 
The  burnt  area  is  a  mile  in  length,  and  from  a  quarter  to  half  a 
mile  in  breadth,  being  more  than  two-thirds  of  the  city,  and  that 
by   far  the   better  portion. 

St.  John's  has  received  a  terrible  blow,  and  of  course  it  will  affect

the  wh^le  colony  '.  nl  its  trade  and  industries.  The  fire  of  1846 
was  not  to  be  compared  with  this  in  regard  to  the  value  of  the 
property  destroyed.  The  city  had  made  very  great  progress  with- 
in the  past  thirty-five  or  forty  years.  I  had  watchec*  its  advance 
with  pride  and  pleasure  during  that  time,  and  admirjd  the  energy 
and  industry  cf  its  noble-hearted  people.  Now  I  gaze  sadly  on 
the  wreck  of  the  results  of  forty  years  of  toil  and  endeavor  —  of 
civilization   and    progress. 

But  St.  John's  will  rise  from  its  ashes,  improved  a"d  beautif"^''. 
I  hope,  but  not  in  my  day.  Help  has  come  from  all  quarters, 
liberal,  generous,  sympathetic.  As  after  the  fire  of  1846,  Boston  has 
contributed  generously  for  the  relief  of  the  sufferers.  All  the  great 
cities  of  the  United  States  and  Canada  are  sending  aid.  (  r  people 
are  taking  courage,  after  the  first  shock,  and  already  the  sound  of 
hammer  and  axe  in  rebuilding  is  heard  on  all  hands.  There  will 
soon  be  plenty  of  work  and  good  wages.  There  is  no  weak  de- 
spondency. "A  stout  heart  to  a  stae  brae"  is  the  watchword.  We 
have  serious  difficulties  to  face,  but  with  hope  and  courage  we  can 
surmount   them.     Meantime,    I   would    say,   we    need   all  possible  help.

/f%NCE   more,   O   City,    by   new   grief  laid    low, 
W     A   brand,    fierce   burning,    writes   thy   lurid   name, 
Linking   the   letters   with    the   fiery   woe  — 
Thy   limbs   are    smitten   by   relentless   foe, 

Thy   life    once    more   afflicted   by   the    flame  !         .   . 

Again    from    smouldering    homes   that   toil    had    given 
Is   heard   the    plaintive    chant   by   Sorrow   sung. 

From    hardy   children    by   disaster   driven  — 

Once   cheery   natures   now   in   spirit   riven  — 
The    wail,   the    song   of  ringing   want   is   wrung. 

Lone    IsK,  bereaved   Hke   chosen   race    of   old, 

Heaven   sure   reserves   for   ihee   some   dear   desire  — 

Some   cherished    stamp   designs,    of  choice   untold. 

To   form   thy   value   as   of  chastened   gold, 
So   cruel   tried   in   crucible    of  fire  ! 

E'en   now   as    Fate    thy   cup   of  sadness   fills 

The    blaze    that   vital    fuel   there   consumes 
Each   heart   with  thought   of  filial   purpose    thrills, 
Becomes   a   love-lit   beacon   on    thy   hills, 

And    vision   of  thy    sons    far-off  illumes. 

O   Motherland   who   breasts    the    striving    sea, 

Bid    thy   brave    sons   gird    up    their   loins    as   men, 
Bestir    their   hearts    in    new-found^  strength    for   thee  — 
Through    storm    of  flame    or   flood   arise,    and   be 
Maternal   soil   of  hope   and    sturdy    soul   again!

THROUGH     ST.    JOHN'S     FIRE. 


BOSTONIAN'S   DESCRIFriON    OF   THE   CALAMITY. 


WE  left  Halifax  for  St.  John's,  N.F.,  on  Monday,  July  4,  arriving  m 
the  latter  place  at  eight  o'clock,  Wednesday  morning.     We  put 
up  at  the  Central,  and,  the  house  being  full,  had  to  take  quarters  on  the 

third  floor.  \        ■,    .     c     u  n 

Friday  afternoon,  between  four  and  five  o'clock,  we  heard  the  fire-bells 
ringing,  and  saw  a  cloud  of  smoke  rising  from  a  place  apparently  half  a 
mile  away  from  the  hotel.  We  had  been  invited  to  take  tea  with  friends 
at  the  West  end  of  the  city,  and  our  host,  arriving  about  six  o'clock  with  his 
carriage,  took  us  to  his  fine  residence  on  the  hill,  about  a  mile  or  so  from 
our  hotel.  As  we  drove  along,  our  minds  began  to  misgive  us,  seeing 
that  the  wind  was  blowing  fiercely,  and  the  flames  striding  onward  in  the 
direction  of  the  Central. 

Our  window  at  the  table  of  our  host  overlooked  the  whole  city,  and 
we  soon  found  that  it  would  be  advisable  to  hasten  to  our  luggage,  if  we 
would  save  it,  for  it  had  become  evident  to  all  that  the  city  would  be 
swept  by  the  flames  to  the  water's  edge.  Our  party  of  four  accordingly 
started  for  the  hotel,  the  youngest,  a  lady,  keeping  well  ahead  of  the 
others,  remembering  that  the  trunks  were  unpacked,  and  that  we  were  on 

the  third  flooi. 

When  ve  arrived  within  a  few  hundred  yards  of  the  house  we  found 
the  Court-House  (nearly  opposite)  a  sheet  of  flames,  the  woodwork  flying 
in  great  '« flankers "  across  the  street.     The  entrance   to  the  house  was 

(28) 


blocked  with  the  luggage  of  the  boarders  who  happened  to  be  near 
enough  to  reach  the  place,  and  with  the  utmost  difificulty  we  reached  our 
rooms,  now  literally  walled  in  by  kire  —  a  large  store  below  us  having  burst 
out  into  roaring  flames. 

Hastily  thrusting  our  things  into  trunks  and  bags,  we  started  over  the 
stairs,  dragging  what  we  could.  Reaching  the  street,  we  found  it  compar- 
atively clear,  the  heat  and  the  danger  having  driven  away  those  who  were 
standing  there  when  we  went  up. 

A  boy  or  a  man  whom  we  might  impress  into  our  service  would  stay 
a  very  brief  space,  as  the  shillings  were  freely  offered  for  a  "  lift  "  ;  but 
by  dint  of  dragging  and  carrying  we  got  what  we  had  with  us  along  a 
quarter  of  a  mile  or  so,  and  rested.  Our  host  of  the  ev^ening,  seeing  one 
of  his  men  in  the  crowd,  hailed  him,  and  a  hand-cart  and  willing  hands 
soon  put  us  under  our  friend's  roof,  with  the  greater  part  of  our  luggage 

saved. 

Those  of  the  family  whs  were  familiar  with  the  streets  were  out  all 
night  doing  what  they  could  .'o  L„ve  their  own,  and,  when  that  was  impos- 
sible, helping  those  whom  it  was  possible  to  help  in  saving  their  property ; 
while  we  who  were  unfamiliar  with  the  old  city,  could  only  gaze  on  at  a 
safe  distance,  and  grieve  to  see  such  awful  destruction. 

Imagine  a  sea  of  fire  more  than  half  a  mile  wide  sweeping  along  with 
a  terrific  roar,  taking  everything  in  its  course  of  a  mile  to  the  wharves  and 
docks.  Immense  pieces  of  fire  flying  in  advance  of  the  main  body,  like 
carriers  or  pickets,  set  a  dozen  fires  ahead  of  it,  leaping  into  flames  long 
distances  away,  forming  a  skirmish  line  on  and  on,  until  the  docks  were 
reached. 

The  cries  of  those  on  the  outskirts  were  :  "  There  goes  the  English 
Cathedral !  "  (a  magnificent  building  costing  between  $500,000  and  $600,- 
000).  "  There  goes  St.  Patrick's  Hall  !  "  "  There  goes  the  Kirk  !  "  "  Ma- 
sonic Hall  ! "  "  Total  Abstinence  Hall !  "  and  so  on  all  through  the  night. 

Never  did  such  a  pyrotechnic  display  meet  the  eyes  of  any  of  our 

party. 

When  daylight  came  we  walked  as  far  as  we  couid  through  the  ruins, 
and  penetrated  to  within  sight  of  our  hotel.  The  ^nd  walls  of  stone  and 
the  chimneys  were  still  standing,  and  the  coal  was  burning  in  the  base- 
ment ;  all  else  had  vanished  in  highly  rarefied  air. 

The  Court-House,  near  by,  in  which  one  of  our  party  had  spent  an 
hour  in  chat  with  sub-Sheriff  Chauncey,  his  friend  of  twenty-five  years  ago, 

(29) 


and  whom  he  ha.:  not  seen  for  that  length  of  time,  had  neither  bench  to 
sit  on  "or  bar  to  be  brought  to.  Even  the  royal  motto,  which  he  had 
noticed,  with  a  period  after  each  word,  thus,  "  Dieu.  et.  Mon.  Droit.," 
had  come  to  a  full  stop  after  so  many  years  of  looking  down  upon  the 
prisoner  at  the  bar,  who  could  claim  under  it  his  rights. 

We  remained  in  St.  John's  till  lo  o'clock  A.M.,  and  the  sights  we 
saw  were  indeed  pitiful.  Every  available  vehicle  had  been  obtained,  and 
what  was  saved  was  being  carted  to  the  fields  and  the  places  of  shelter 
round  the  city.  The  poor,  with  the  commonest  of  things  in  their  hands, 
and  those  better  off,  with  the  choicest,  were  on  the  streets,  some  havmg  a 
definite  object  in  view,  some  knowing  not  where  to  turn. 

At  1.30  Saturday  morning,  while  we  were  watching  the  singular 
aspect  of  the  flame  in  the  tower  of  the  Scotch  church,  a  man  came  to  the 
door  of  our  host  and  said,  "The  minister  of  the  Kirk  wants  to  secure 
your  vacant  house."  The  little  gardens  on  the  hill  behind  the  fire  were 
filled   with   such   things   as   were   saved— upright   pianos,    cook   stoves, 

broken  chine,  etc. 

But  as  we  had  planned  to  go  to  Harbor  Grace,  we  concluded  to 
leave  St.  John's  by  the  10  o'clock  train.  On  the  way  to  the  depot,  when 
we  saw  an  acquaintance,  it  was,  "  Did  you  save  anything?"  — "Yes,  my 
books."  —  "  What  I  have  on."  —  "  Nothing."  —  "  We  got  the  vessel  into  the 
stream,  and  we're  all  right,"  etc. 

On  the  train  were  those  who  had  friends  along  the  railroad  (one 
hundred  to  Harbor  Grace).  Among  the  passengers  was  a  baby  six  weeks 
old,  with  nurse  and  maid.  'J'he  maid  said  they  saved  the  wedding  silver 
of  two  years  ago,  and  little  else. 

We  had  started  for  Harbor  Grace,  but  were  destined  to  other  experi- 
ences before  we  could  reach  the  desired  haven.  The  weather  had  been 
exceedingly  dry  for  a  month  or  more  —  not  a  showei  of  any  account  in 
that  time.  Before  we  reached  Topsail,  twelve  miles  out,  we  could  see 
that  the  country  was  all  ablaze  with  forest  fires,  and  the  farther  we  pushed 
on  the  worse  it  grew.  Our  train  was  due  in  Harbor  Grace  at  3.30.  At 
I  o'cfock  we  reached  Holyrood;  at  1.35  Salmon  Cove,  through  fire  and 
smoke  almost  blinding ;  at  2  o'clock  a  station  a  litde  farther  on. 

After  a  short  delay  we  try  another  little  piece,  halting  to  get  fresh  air  in 
the  gaps  between  the  flames,  and  then  again  dashing  through.  Then  we 
came  to  a  sea  of  surging  flames,  and  the  word  is,  "  Back  to  Salmon 
Cove  !  "     And  back  we  go  miles  and  miles  through  the  burning  woods. 

(30) 


We  raided  the  refreshment  rooms,  and  crackers  and  beer  being  the 
staple  articles  there,  we  get  back  to  our  car  with  such  food. 

After  an  hour's  rest  we  again  go  on,  passing  a  small  station  or  two, 
and  perhaps  a  few  miles  beyond  where  we  had  once  before  been ;  but 
suddenly  we  meet  a  wall  of  flame  that  it  is  impossible  to  pass  through,  and 
the  order  is,  **  Back  to  Salmon  Cove  !  "  This  is  no  easy  matter,  but  we 
finally  get  there,  passing  by  the  flam'ng  ruins  of  a  lumber  mill  that  was 
standing  unhurt  when  we  went  on  a  few  minutes  earlier.  But  even  Sal- 
mon Cove  was  too  warm  for  us,  and  the  order  was,  "  Back  to  Holyrood  !  " 

And  there  we  stayed  in  Holyrood,  like  the  Israelites  of  old,  with  a 
pillar  of  fire  on  one  side  of  us  and  the  green  sea  of  the  ocean  on  the 
other,  till  8.30,  until  the  roadmaster  came  on  from  St.  John's  in  another 
train,  and,  taking  charge,  pushed  us  on  again  toward  Salmon  Cove  and 
Harbor  Grace. 

«  •  •  •  •  ••  •  •  •  ••  • 

We  meet  a  train  at  Whitbourne  with  people  going  back  to  find  their 
families,  and  with  cooked  provisions  for  the  homeless  ones,  and  we  ar- 
rive in  Harbor  Grace  at  1.30  Sunday  morning,  ten  hours  late.  Even  at 
that  hour,  and  in  the  outskirts  of  the  town,  where  the  station  is,  one 
thousand  people  are  awaiting  the  coming  of  the  train.  Harbor  Grace  sta- 
tion probably  never  before  saw  such  a  crowd.

EPISCOPAL    CATHEDRAL. 


(HE   Episcopal,  or  English  Cathedral,  as  it  was  called  in  St.  John's, 
^'     a    view    of   which  appears    in   this    Souvenir,    was    built    from 
plans  furnished  by  the  late  Sir  Gilbert  Scoit,  the  most  eminent  Eng- 
lish architect  of   the  present  era.     It   was   conceded    to  be    the   finest 
piece   of  Gothic   architecture    in   the    New   World.     In   fact,    it   was  a 
perfect   gem.     The    lofty   proportions    of    the    interior    and     the    fine 
Gothic    colonnades   of  stone   between    the    nave    and    aisles,   together 
with  the   high  lancet-windows,  formed   a   pleasant   picture.     The   carv- 
ing  on    the    pulpit,    pews,    and    lectern    was    the     admiration    of    all 
tourists   who   visited   the    Cathedral.      The    edifice    was    120    feet    in 
length  and   56   feet    broad,   and  a  large   portion   of    the   stone  used 
in    its    erection    was    imported   from    Europe.     The    foundation-stone 
was    laid    in    1843    by   Bishop   Aubrey   S.   Spencer.     Bishop    Spencer 
was    succeeded    in     1844    by     Dr.    Edward     Feild,    who     continued 
Bishop    for    thirty-two    years,    and   during   his   life    the  construction   of 
the    Cathedral   was   pushed    along.     Bishop    Feild    died    in    1876,   and 
was    succeeded    by    his    coadjutor,    Dr.   J.    B.    Kelly,   who    resigned, 
owing   to   ill   health,    in    1877.     He   was   succeeded    in    1878    by   the 
Rev.  Llewellyn  Jones,   D.D.,  the   present   Episcopalian    bishop,   who, 
with   the    deepest    sorrow,    witnessed    its    destruction    on   the    8th    of 

July,    1892.  , 

The  engraving  of  the  Cathedral,  also  the  scenes  before  and  after  the 
fire,  in  this  Souvemr,  are  from  photographs  made  by  S.  H.  Parsons,  Esq., 
St.  John's,  Newfoundland.

COMMENTS   ON   THE   FIRE. 


SOME  four  months  ago  the  Eastern  Division  of  the  town  of  St.  John's 
was  suddenly  reduced  to  ashes,  and  to-day  nothing  remains  to 
mark  the  sites  where  the   homes  of  ten  thousand  people  stood 
and  the  monuments  of  the  piety  and  benevolence  of  its  citizens  were 
erected  than  a  wilderness  of  chimneys  and  a  heap  of  unsightly  ruins. 
The  actual  horror  of  the  night  of  the  8th  of  July  is  past  to  the  people 
of  St.  John's.     But  they  have  yet  to  face  an  actuality  which  is  sufficiently 
serious  to  contemplate.     Relieved  from  the  imminent  dread   of  imme- 
diate destruction,  it  becomes  their  duty  now  to  relieve  disaster,  and,  if 
possible,  to  turn  ev^    their  troubles  to  good  account.    They  have  lost  a 
city ;  let  the  world  see  if  they  cannot  erect  a  better  one  on  its  site.    The 
opportunity  is  clearly  afforded  them,  for  the  fire  has  swept  all  obstacles 
from  their  path.     The  only  question  is,  then,  whether  or  not  they  have 
the  means.     This  question,  we  think,  may  te  answered  affirmatively.     It 
is  worth  some  trouble  to  revive   St.  John's.     Situated  on  the  side  of  a 
hill  that  slopes  steeply  and  evenly  enough  to  make  its  drainage  a  simple 
matter,  it  is  yet  not  too  steep  for  traffic,  provided  the  streets  are  carried 
along  the  proper  graac.     At  the  base  of  the  town  lies  a  harbor  that  for  its 
size  approaches  as  nearly  as  possible  to  perfection.     One  source  of  trouble 
only  stands  in  the  way.     The  absentee  landlord  is  at  this   moment   as 
much  an  impedimei  t  to  municipal  refcim  as  he  has  hitherto  been  to  com- 
mercial enterprise.    The  time  is  now  come  to  deal  with  him  as  they  would 
deal  with  any  other  obstacle  in  the  way  of  their  progress.     Is  it  not  pos- 
sible to  devise  a  scheme  for  removing  him,  —  first  however,  compensating 
him  for  the  losses  that  may  be  inflicted.     That  co.apensation  should  be 
reasonable,  but  it  certainly  should  not  err  on  the  side  of  extravagance. 
By  removing  the  absent  ^e  the  town  becomes  the  citizens  own ;  and  then 
let  them  make  the  best  iney  can  of  their  newly  acquired  freehold.

DESCRIPTION   OF  THE  CITY  OF  ST.  JOHN'S. 


■^HIS  is  a  description  of  the  city  as  it  was  previous  to  the  great  fire  : 
^     St.  John's  is  the  capital  and  commercial  metropolis  of  Newfoundland. 

The  population  in  1884  was  28,610.  [It  is  safe  to  say  that  at  the 
time  of  the  great  fire  it  was  30,000.] 

The  site  of  the  city  ascends  gradually  from  tiie  harbor,  the  highest 
point  being  two  hundred  m  1  twenty-five  feet  above  the  sea.  It  is  built  on 
the  north  side  of  the  harl     . 

The  principal  street  is  Water  Street,  running  parallel  to  the  north  side 
of  the  harbor,  somewhat  more  than  a  mile  and  a  half  In  length,  containing 
well-constructe  -\  houses  and  large  and  substantial  stores  ;  excellent  wharves 
jut  into  the  water,  and  vessels  of  large  tonnage  can  at  all  times  safely  moor 
at  them. 

The  houses  and  stores  of  Water  Street  are  built  of  brick  or  stone,  a 
law  to  that  effect  having  been  passed  after  the  disastrous  fire  of  1846,  by 
which  die  greater  part  of  the  city  was  destroyed. 

The  houses  in  the  other  streets,  for  the  most  part,  are  built  of  wood. 

The  Roman  Catholic  Cathedral  stands  on  the  highest  point  of  the 
declivity  which  forms  the  site  of  the  city,  two  hundred  and  twenty-five 
feet  above  sea  level.  Opposite  the  city,  at  the  south  side  of  the  harbor, 
a  lofty  ridge  of  precipitous  hills,  seven  hundred  feet  high,  rises  abruptly 
from  the  water's  edge,  and  stretches  for  some  miles  into  the  interior.  A 
small  space  at  the  base  of  these  hills  has  been  made  available  for  building, 
and  here  the  merchants  have  erected  warehouses  and  large  vats  for  the 
manufacture  and  storing  of  oil. 

The  city  is  v/ell  supplied  with  water  from  a  lake  called  Twenty-Mile 

(36) 


St. 


Pond  distant  six  miles,  and  elevated  one  hundred  and  /.fty  feet  above  the 
highest  part  of  St.  John's.  [It  is  this  fact  that  gave  the  inhabitants  such 
confidence  in  the  oft-repeated  assertion  that  their  city  could  never  be  de- 
stroyed by  fire.]  The  water-works  were  constructed  at  a  cost  of  ;^8o,ooo 
sterling.     There  are  two  organized  volunteer  fire  companies. 

There  are  three  banks.  ,    ,    ,  • 

There  are  ten  churches  in  the  city.  The  Roman  Catholic  Cathedral  is 
an  imposing  structure.  The  Church  of  England  Cathedral  is  also  a  fine 
edifice,  in  fact  a  gem  in  Gothic  architecture.  There  are  three  Wesleyan 
churches,  one  Presbyterian  church,  three  Church  of  England,  and  three 
Roman  Catholic  churches,  and  one  Congregational  church. 

The  most  important  public  edifices,  in  addition  to  the  Cathedrals  and 
churches,  are  :  Government  House,  the  residence  of  the  governor,  a 
plain  but  substantial  and  commodious  stone  building,  which  cost  i;30,ooo 
sterling  when  erected  in  1822;  the  House  of  Assembly,  in  which  the 
Legislature  holds  its  sittings  and  where  are  the  government  offices ;  the 
Union  and  Commercial  banks ;  the  Lunatic  Asylupi ;  the  Public  Hospital. 
Market-house,  and  Court-House  ;  Roman  Catholic  college  and  convents  ; 
Episcopalian,  Wesleyan,  and  General  Protestant  academies ;  Roman 
Catholic  and  Episcopalian  orphan  asylums  ;  the  Athenaeum ;  St.  Patrick  s 
Hall ;  Star  of  the  Sea  Hall ;  Total  Abstinence  Hall. 

Eighteen  life,  fire,  and  marine  insurance  companies  have  agencies  in 

^'*  "^  The'joint  stock  companies  are :  The  St.  John's  Gas  Light  Com- 
pany, General  Water  Company,  Floating  Dry  Dock  Company,  Colonial 
Cordage  Company.  Boot  &  Shoe  Facer  Company,  St.  John's  Steam  Tug 

Company.^  has  two  saw  mills,  two  furniture  factories,  two  machine 
shops,  one  gas  manufactory,  three  iron  foundries,  one  distillery  two 
breweries,  four  bakeries  by  machinery,  one  patent  slip,  one  floating  dock, 
one  tannery,  one  boot  and  shoe  factory,  two  tobacco  factories,  one  soap 
and  candle  works,  one  rope,  twine,  and  net  ^acrory. 

Of  the  literary  institutions,  the  St.  John's  Athen^um  has  a  hbrary 
containing  7,000  volumes,  and  a  reading-room  well  supplied  with  British 
ana  American  newspapers  and  periodicals;  the  Academy  has  a  readmg- 
room  and  library,  and  the   City  and  Metropolitan  Clubs  have  readmg- 

'""""The  newspapers  published  in  St.  John's  are  the  '«  Daily  Evening  Tele- 

(37; 


gram,"  "  Daily  Evening  Colonist,"  and  the  "  Daily  Evening  Herald ;  "  the 
"  Advocate,"  tri-weekly ;  the  *'  Newfoundlander,"  and  the  "  Times,"  bi- 
weekly; the  "Patriot,"  and  the  "Royal  Gazette,"  weekly.  Of  these 
newspapers,  the  "  Royal  Gazette  "  is  the  oldest,  having  been  established' 
in  t8o6. 

The  large  mercantile  establishments  issue  supplies  on  a  large  scale 
for  the  prosecution  of  the  seal  and  cod  fisheries  and  collect  and  export  fish 
and  oil.  The  codfish  are  chiefly  sent  to  Great  Britian,  Spain,  Portugal, 
Italy,  the  West  Indies,  and  Brazil.  The  seal  oil  and  the  seal  skins  are 
mainly  exported  to  Britian. 

The  great  bulk  of  the  imports  of  the  colony  arrives  at  the  port  of 
St.  John's. 

In  addition  to  the  large  mercantile  establishments  there  are  a  large 
number  of  handsome  retail  shops. 

The  average  number  of  vessels  entering  the  port  annually  is  1,500, 
having  a  burden  of  270,000  tons.  The  number  of  sailing-vessels  clearing 
from  port  for  the  seal  fisheries  each  year  was  once  very  great,  but  of  late 
years  these  have  been  largely  superseded  by  steamers.  Eighteen  power- 
ful steamers  now  leave  St.  John's  each  year  for  the  seal  fishery  March  10, 
or  soon  after.
